I bought this for my wife as a gift, she didn't have an NIV bible at all and for BSF, that is what the lessons are in. She very much enjoys the cover of this bible, blue/green, and likes the study notes all throughout the bible. The font is big enough to read comfortably, and the bible is not over-sized like larger font bibles. This is a nice in between size and my wife enjoys the quality of manufacturing and the study helps.
